Re: why do i Have two O2 sensors before the Catlytic convert

That is the intake manifold, partially disasembled, from a 1.6L Daewoo engine. The butterfly valves are part of the variable intake runner design. They are vacuum operated and open or close to change the intake manifold runner length, thereby tuning the intake manifold to the engine rpm. This tuning...

Re: intermittent clutch failure

No easy way to tell which one for sure. Although the master cylinder is usually the culprit more often than the slave cylinder. Sometimes you can listen to the cylinders with a mechanics stethascope while someone is pushing the clutch and hear a hissing sound as the fluid escapes around the seals. C...

Re: intermittent clutch failure

No fluid loss is because the leak is internal. That is fluid is bypassing one or both pistons inside its respective cylinder housing, either the clutch master cylinder or the slave cylinder because the seal (o-ring likely) is bad or you have some pitting on the cylinder wall. No fluid is escaping ou...

Re: intermittent clutch failure

Sounds like you have a master cylinder or slave cylinder internal seal failure. Could be either the master cylinder or Slave cylinder, hard to tell which. Replace or rebuild both is about the only way to fix.

Re: Fuel Pressure Regulator lag. A15 SOHC

What happens if you just disconnect the factory FPR from vacuum and run it like that (i.e. without installing a different FPR)? Wouldnt it supply fuel at the higher pressure setting at idle and all other times? Would this be enough pressure boost to eliminate the slow acceleration from idle? Fltofancy

Re: Fuel Pressure Regulator lag. A15 SOHC

The squealing noise you hear is likely the RRFPR poppet valve opening and closing very fast. Kinda sounds like when you squeeze a ballon neck and let the pressure out, SKWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Very typical for a pressure regulator trying to regulate from high pressure (AKA full fuel pump pressure) to a...

Re: Fuel Pressure Regulator lag. A15 SOHC

I wish we had pictures of this mod, I want to do it to my car. I always thought the fuel pressure regulator was a bit of a weenie.

Re: Drag race: MMamdouh vs. Zikas

Daniel,
Your math appears correct, and certainly two or three millimeters isnt enough to make a difference.
The theory is still correct, but obviously assumes the tires have the same aspect ratio and therfore a significant difference in overall wheel/tire combo diameter.
I stand corrected.

Re: Drag race: MMamdouh vs. Zikas

Guys, your really overthinking this, and the answer is much simpler than you think. Lets review Both cars have similiar engines with similiar horsepower and the cars have similiar weights. Mr. Newton said: Force = mass * acceleration So with similiar masses (car weight) we "see" more acceleration in...

Re: Lanos 2 dr Sport 2001 won't start! Battery seems fine.

Sounds like a clutch switch. Try to push start (roll start) the car, as if the battery were weak. If you can push start the car then the problem is in the starter circuit. Probably a clutch switch or starter solenoid or starter itself.
